Will you train me? I haven’t been in recruitment before!!
Yes we will. You will be personally mentored by the Managing Director of the company who has spent 10 years in the industry and has trained and developed over 40 recruitment consultants in his time. He will break the training down in to bite sized bits so you will always be learning something new every day and week. We have a structured training program that also includes regular reviews during your first 6 months until you’re ready to go it alone.
What are we looking for?
Confident and Positive as a person.
Able to talk to anybody regardless of age, race, background and hold conversations easily.

Gift of the gab certainly helps!
Be able to talk people round to your point of view.
Keen to learn about new things and find research interesting.
Able to sit in an office for 8/9 hours a day at a desk.
Strong written and spoken English.

You need to want to make money! At the end of the day this a target driven and money making environment. If you’re not keen on making as much money as possible you will struggle in this role.
Handle pressure. If you get stressed easily you will find this role hard. Sometimes you will be behind on your targets. This needs to motivate you to work harder, not worry and stress.
So what do I get out of this?
It’s important to know that people can spend their whole working lives in recruitment and earn great money. Plenty of people don’t though and go on in too many different lines of work as the skill set you pick up is highly transferable. The most important things you will get from this role are:
Industry leading training meaning you come out of the first year as long as you worked hard with a full understanding on how to be a Recruitment Consultant.
Earning between £26/30k in your first year if you only meet target. It’s possible to earn more against our uncapped commission scheme.
Second year earnings are £36/43k and third years £47/56k. Again you can seriously over perform against these. By your third year if you’re good you could earn over £100k which many people who have worked for our MD in the past have!
